If both machines were Linux machines, I would instead use an almost default postfix config to send mail from one machine to another (internally, not via internet). Actually, this is what I do with my "server".
are you sure this wont works in windows? (I never tried, I have no really running windows machine at home). I would be surprised if windows wont have some sort of internal message system (but I didn't manage windows since... wow... many years :-()
But as it is, Linux cron generates emails, and Windows XP does not contain, out of the box, an SMTP server to receive/send email. YOu can add a third party one.
You could do something in Linux, perhaps, so that cron instead of using email for comunications, uses syslog. And those messages can be sent to another machine. But again, XP does not have, out of the box, a syslog server to get messages from the outside and log them.
One is tempted to ask at this point, given that Linux does run, out of the box, those things that Windows does have, and that you would have to pay extra for, just as you paid for Windows, whereas you didn't have t pay extra for them with Linux -- in fact you didn't have to pay for Linux in the first place, why Damon is running Windows and not Linux as his work-station, since not only would these facilities solve his problem, but Linux can run Thunderbird as well, in fact it runs Thunderbird very well!
